Hi Chris,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the arrangements and organisation on Friday night. The Foxy Fiesta definitely exceeded our expectations and we will be recommending you to our fellow hens who fancy giving Barcelona a go in the near future !

Lunch in El Chorro National Park
 |
If you fancy a lovely, chilled day in the heart of stunning surroundings, you couldn't do much better than a trip to El Chorro National Park. It's a beautiful location consisting of an amazing and surreal gorge cut through limestone peaks by the River Gaudalhorce with some spectacular lakes and dams. The National Park has plenty of unspoilt and amazing natural scenery, a fantastic contrast to the hustle of Malaga city or the region's coastal resorts. |
 |
Threading the length of the gorge itself is the improbable Camino del Rey - a concrete catwalk literally hanging halfway up the side of the cliff face. Originally built as part of a hydroelectric scheme, it was opened by King Alfonso XIII in 1921; who walked it's length and eventually naming it: the King's Path. |
 |
Walking the Camino del Rey is no longer possible (thankfully!) due to some gaping holes and decidedly wobbly portions, but it's still a wonder in itself and definately worth a look. |
 |
If you fancy a good long walk, a bit of hiking, or even just a stroll to build up your appetite, you'd be hard to find a better spot in the region. There are plenty of well marked routes to follow; up into the hills, around the lakes and through the village of El Chorro itself. Climb the Pico de Almochon for spectacular views of the lakes, and follow the path to the start of the Camino del Rey to see it clinging to the rock face. |
 |
El Chorro has plenty of lovely restaurants located in privileged spots overlooking the lakes. Enjoy a delicious three-course paella, or carne a la brasa (meat cooked over charcoal grill) lunch, with wine, al fresco with stunning views over the lake. Then sit and soak up the afternoon sunshine to relax and allow yourself to be charmed by the place - go on, you deserve it! |

Henorita's Hint #1:
In the summer months you can swim in the lakes and soak up the sun on the small beaches. So bring your swimming gear. It's also possible to do canoeing during peak season. Just let us know before hand and we'll send you a quote.
Henorita's Hint #2:
Fancy a picnic instead with plenty of wine and champagne in beautiful surroundings? It can also be arranged!
